معرفی
Dr. Kris Seunarine is a Research Fellow in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Swansea University, Faculty of Science and Engineering. He contributes to the GENERATION project, focusing on sustainable, self-powered interactive technologies. With a PhD in Semiconductor Technology from the University of Edinburgh and over 25 years of experience in both industry and academia, his work spans electronics, photonics, and human-computer interaction.
His research interests lie at the intersection of Materials Science, Energy Harvesting, and Human-Centered Design. He explores how novel materials—especially printed and photovoltaic materials—can power and enhance interactive systems. His expertise includes VLSI design, bioelectronics, carbon composites, and signal integrity, with a recent emphasis on sustainable IoT and smart surfaces.
His recent publications, presented at leading venues like CHI and NordiCHI, demonstrate a trend toward community-driven design, energy-autonomous interfaces, and real-world performance of perovskite solar cells. These works highlight applications in aging populations, slum communities, and ambient-powered communication displays.
Dr. Seunarine is available for postgraduate supervision and actively contributes to interdisciplinary research. His scientific contributions are reflected in impactful work on self-powered IoT, though no specific awards or fellowships are listed.
He advises on or leads projects involving energy-harvesting materials and has collaborated widely across engineering and HCI domains. His work is supported through research grants associated with the GENERATION project, though specific funding sources are not detailed. He is affiliated with research teams focused on sustainable digital materials and human-centered innovation.
He maintains a presence on Google Scholar and ResearchGate, and is based in the Engineering East Building at Bay Campus, Swansea University.
